I went downtown yesterday, watched some people ride in circles and oggled some very pricey bikes. Here are some pics y’all might enjoy. ![](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2477/3762080378_f0bb78311b_b.jpg) ![](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3762080588_ff7332f51f_b.jpg) ![](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2495/3761277625_ced281f723_b.jpg) ![](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2668/3762079360_51a8051890_b.jpg) ![](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2139/3762079078_12401e4292_b.jpg) They had Contador’s Giro winning bike on display. ![](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2581/3761279109_317501f850_b.jpg) PS, check the badass thread for pics of scary fancy Colnagos. ---

I am always surprised that people ride the stupid big money bikes in amateur crits. I used to go to the local brick crit as a kid just to watch the crashes. ---
